I'm not saying only shops. I'm talking about a long, straight path leading up to a MAIN BUILDING, with a ride, at the end. That is NOT the case with the other lands. Maybe I'm just crazy, but that's how I feel.

I get what you're saying. So you're not totally crazy . JungleSkip does have a point too, though. I think the problem is, since to anyone who isn't a HP fan having the same set up will result in almost an identical experience. Not that that's gonna be a problem, since that may well be what most people want.

Apparently you don't know me too well!

Here we go again, again....

How many times does this argument have to come up before you stop being surprised?

 

[Brian G.]

It's just redundant and silly at this point. I figured a different approach would be taken.

They should make the shrieking shack right outside of the Hogsmead entrance ( LC side) and make it like a short walk threw hunted house. They can also make the rest of the LC island into the forbidden forest ???

You know what, JK Rolling should have just bought land near Orlando (like 200 acres) and make a theme park based on the books. LMAO, im not kidding. And it could have had a real Hogwarts Express train.

:look:

The Shrieking Shack is an empty building. It's so lame that they replaced it in DH2 with an building unique to the movies....

Yes about the Shrieking Shack. And you actually see the outside of the boathouse in FJ.

Really? Now I'm going to look for it next time I'm on the ride :thumbs:

Not to mention that it's been in the last few video games as well.

Yup, as you approach Hogwarts at the end you fly right by it.

Just saw this on the picture Uni just posted on Facebook...

WWOHP wish it was bigger! Let's take over Jurrasic Park!

:inquisitive:

Anyway, point being I suppose the people saying that the public are eager for more Potter are right! I've seen a few comments like this already, and they only posted 2 minutes ago.

I think your getting info from a very biased source. Those are probably people who care more about Potter than IOA. Anyone who is actually in favor of that does not care about the park as a whole IMO.

 

[DragonSlayer]

I agree to an extent with this particular quote, but there were several other (more realistic) responses to the same effect.

Universal doesn't care about people who care, they care about people who come and buy things.

 

[Teebin]

Universal doesn't care about people who care, they care about people who come and buy things.

May I help you clarify that which I agree with. Universal corporate doesn't care about people who care. Many of Universal management cares about their jobs and making the experience as perfect as they have been told to or as perfect as they believe it should be. Unfortunately, they have no say on what gets rehabbed or when, and it is very disheartening for them to see things slide downhill and yet proceed with their jobs. The WW has changed much of this broken spirit as we all can see.

 

[TheDecemberists]

I was being a little melodramatic when I said that and forgot to mention it lol. But I agree with what you're saying, Teebin.

Went for a business meeting today... a place I have never been before. So, I was being escorted to a small conference room and was really shocked to see some models and concept art in at least one of the larger rooms I passed by. It was just a glance that I got and saw no logos with names or anything like that, however... it didn't look like concept work for Seuss or HHN if you get my gist. Let me just say... "it looked familiar", and I believe I have posted in the correct thread.

I was escorted out a different way (they wanted me to see the other depts. meet people I might be dealing with etc. and I was feeling like "Nooooooooooo!")... so never got a second peek.

 

[Hatetofly]

Thanks Teebin for rubbing it in. Things are moving forward!

:stunned: Wait, so do you work at Universal Creative?

Secondly, are you suggesting that you saw possible models and plans for WWOHP phase 2????
